What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe metastatic lymph node ratio (MLNR) is one of the most important factors in prognostic analysis of breast cancer. The objective of this study was to determine if MLNR combined with protein-tyrosine phosphatase H1 (PTPH1) pathological expression can be used to predict the prognosis of patients with breast invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) better than one factor only. PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 136 patients with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) of breast who underwent modified radical mastectomy and were treated with chemotherapy after operation at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from December 2008 to October 2011 were included. PTPH1 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in surgical specimens retrospectively collected from patients with histologically proven invasive ductal breast cancer. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis were performed to assess the prognostic significance of PTPH1 expression. A prognostic factor for disease-free survival (DFS) was identified by univariate and multivariate analyses. ROC analysis was used to evaluate the performance of single factors and combined feature.
resultsOne hundred and thirty-six patients were included in the analysis. By cut-point survival analysis, MLNR cut-off was designed as 0.2. On multivariate analysis, a MLNR>0.2 was associated with a worse DFS (HR=2.581, 95% CI=1.303-5.113,
conclusionThese findings indicate that both PTPH1 and MLNR are accurate independent prognostic parameters in patients with IDC of the breast. Better information on IDC prognosis could be obtained from the combined feature.
